Entire book of Timothy is about the qualifications set for Bishops. Context, context, context.
Speaking of getting things into context, please explain something to me.
Why do you say in post #608, subject "Brokeback Mountain Gets 8 Oscar Nominations":
Why can't homosexuals be conservatives? I'm pro abortion myself and would still consider myself to be conservative.
Pro abortion? Homosexual conservatives? Do you agree with the commandment "Thou Shall Not Kill?" How can you be pro-abortion and take that Holy Commandment literally?
In same subject title, post #562, you appear to be in favor of this revolting film. Do you not agree with "Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind, because it is an abomination." Leviticus 18:22
In yet another thread, "Here comes the Mother to Be" in post # 60 you commend a woman on that thread for posing nude while pregnant. Do you not agree with these passages from Scripture on modesty?
For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever modest, whatsoever just, whatsoever holy, whatsoever lovely, whatsoever of good fame, if there be any virtue, if any praise of discipline, think on these things. Philippians 4:8
But the wisdom, that is from above, first indeed is chaste, then peaceable, modest, easy to be persuaded, consenting to the good, full of mercy and good fruits, without judging, without dissimulation. St. James 3:17
Take SPECIAL note of this one, Marajade:
In like manner women also in decent apparel: adorning themselves with modesty and sobriety, not with plaited hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly attire 1 Timothy 2:9
So.. you were saying WHAT about the Catholic Church not following Scripture again?
